Learning

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.

Hm. I think most of us would rather learn how to sing than kill the vibe of a bunch of stars. Other things I'd rather do include:

I'd rather learn from a dolphin how to swim than stop all puppies from wagging their tails.

I'd rather learn from one butterfly how to fly than stop all the kangaroos from hopping around.

I'd rather learn from a squirrel how to climb a tree than extinguish the sun - which would kill me. And the squirrel. And the tree.
